“…Forewings are light grey to grey‐brown and have rusty coloured spots and two yellow‐brown transverse bands. The hindwings are dirty white to clear white with less pronounced bands (Akkuzu, 2004; Ayberk, 2006; Kimoto and Duthie‐Holt, 2004; Figure 4). The colour of the females is lighter than that of the males.…”

“…The females are larger than the males. The wingspan is 40–62 mm in the females and 33–45 mm in the males according to Sylvén (1944); 58–67 mm in the females and 47–53 mm in the males according to Açıcı (2021); 69 mm on average according to Akkuzu (2004); and 72–74 mm according to Ayberk (2006). Forewings are light grey to grey‐brown and have rusty coloured spots and two yellow‐brown transverse bands.…”

“…According to Mazzoglio et al (2005), it presents between the 37th and the 60th parallels in Europe. However, as Ayberk (2006) showed its occurrence at a latitude as southern as Cyprus, the southern limit of its distribution in Europe can be updated as the 34th parallel.…”

Calliteara pudibunda is a univoltine, polyphagous and native species producing periodic outbreaks which have been recorded only in Europe so far. Its larvae feed on the foliage of beech, oak and several other deciduous and coniferous trees. It is very widespread in Eurasia. In Europe, it is found between the 34th and 60th parallels. In Türkiye, it occurs mainly in coastal regions. Its outbreak range had been thought to be confined between the 48th and 57th parallels in Europe until the last two decades when outbreaks occurred in Italy and Türkiye. Therefore, the southern limit of its outbreak range can be updated as the 36th parallel. The outbreaks recur every 20–30 years, typically continue for 1–2 years, and end suddenly. Favourable meteorological conditions and a temporary rarity of parasitoids seem to be the main causes of the outbreaks. The damage on hosts is not evident until the third larval instar. The affected hosts may grow new shoots the next spring, as the larvae usually do not attack the terminal shoots. Increment loss is possible, but it may not be economically significant per se. However, tree mortality can occur with the combined effects of other stress factors. The impact of parasitoids and predators during the outbreaks is low. There are also fungal species identified from larvae and pupae, some of which might have significant potential in pest management. Additionally, Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki (Btk), polyhedrosis viruses and light traps can potentially be used, although management practices are not recommended in C. pudibunda outbreaks.

This study named as "Lepidoptera Fauna of the Forest Enterprise Directorate of Kastamonu" was made for determining distribution and presence of Lepidoptera fauna in Kastamonu Forest Enterprise region between 2010-2013 years. Light traps and sweep nets were used to collect the samples from the study area. A total of 70 species belonging to 15 families were identified. The family Nymphalidae was the richest with a number of 13 species. This was followed by Noctuidae (12), Pieridae (10), Geometridae (8), Lycaenidae (6), Satyridae (6), Arctiidae (4), Sphingidae (3), Hesperiidae (2), Papillionidae (1), Zygaenidae (1), Pyralidae (1), Lasiocampidae (1), Saturniidae (1), and Drepanidae (1). Thirty four of captured lepidopter species are listed in the Turkish IUCN Red List as Least Concern (LC). Polyommatus cornelia (Gerhard, 1851) (Lycaenidae) and Maniola megala (Oberthür, 1909) (Satyridae) were determined as endemic and near endemic, respectively.
